Summarize your bug The opacities of friendly and enemy soldier icons can no longer be set seperately.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into the options menu, then under the gameplay tab, scroll down until you find the icon opacity sliders. Set friendly one to 0% and enemy to 100%, go back to the game and notice that both show up at 100% opacity despite this. Go back and reverse the sliders, notice that they both still show up at 100%. Try it for the ADS sliders as well.
What happens when the bug occurs? Friend/Foe icons are visible when they shouldn't be.

I'd like to set up my icons to be least intrusive for me, but with this bug I can't do it.

Exactly the same issue on PS4 Pro, HDR enabled. Tried all transparency settings but icons are still too transparent. I cannot differentiate friend/foe resulting in the game being unplayable. Two other friends reporting the same issue.

Same on XB1 platform. Opacity is set at the lowest level, and changing the slider does nothing. As I understand it DICE is looking into the issue?

Yep - the issue has been verified and confirmed by QA teams. Obviously, I have no clue when the fix will go live, but it is being worked on.

exact same problem...
playing on ps4 in hdr having a lot of trouble seeing the blue icons particularly at any sort of distance that has led me to shoot at friendly's quite a lot ( sorry ) i have also noticed a rise in receiving friendly fire that i assume is from this problem.
i have tried changing the opacity settings but that has only made a slight improvement over short distances.

Thank you. Has there been any progress? I've noticed that the transparency is at its worse on the Tsar maps.
